I1Y RL'TU Clli:iTCllFir.I.. It was a cold November evening. The clouds which had been all day black and threatening were now beginn.ng to send their snowllakes through the nlr, and John Hatchet was hurrying home to his supper nt a headlong pace. John worked iu Mr. Armstrong's great iron foundry, at low wages, it Is true, but, as John said, "A little is better than nothing." There had been a strike among the. foundry hands, but John took no part In It; he kept steadily on at his work, and tried to persuade others to do the same. "Times arehard,"ho said, "but what's the uso of making them worse?" And that day when the strikers camo In a body, led by Hans Schneider, nnd at tempted to stop the works, John said, "There'll be bloodshed first." And his former comrades, know ing him for a resolute fellow, nfter some parleying, concluded to depart, but threatened to return another day with arms In their hands. "Very well," said John, "we'll be ready for you." They never canie,how. over. But, as I was saying, John was hur rying along homo at tho top of his speed 'looking neither to the right nor the left, so that he would not havo seen the old man leaning against a lamp-post if lie had not first run plump against him, and nearly knocked him over. 'Hallo! beg pardon ! All right now, grandfather!" he exclaimed, as with one strong arm he tcstored the old man to his centre of gravity. "My stars! I thought von'd finished me," gasped the old man, embracing the lamp-post. "I came pretty near It, that's a fact," Bald John. "But seems to me you shouldn't be out such a night as this; your folks ought to take better care of you." "I haven't any folks," said the old roan. "Well, you'd better be at home, any way.:1 "That's easy said; but I haven't any home either." "Where are yon bound then, grand father? If your lodgings are near by I'll help you there, for you appear to be about used up." "So I am; but I haven't a place to lay my head unless you take pity on me." John hesitated. A strange vagrant wasn't just tho most desirable guest,but he was evidently old and feeble, and John's kind heart was touched; so he said, "Well, come along with me. I'll givo you a night's lodging, and to-morrow I'll see what can be done." The old man needed no second Invita tion, and in a few minutes the two reached John's house. No sooner had he opened the door than tlvo children and a dog rushed to greet him, while his wife, an easy, roly-poley little woman, exclaimed, "Why, John, what makes you so late? Supper's been ready to go on tho tabic these fifteen minutes; the nuilllus won't be fit to eat," "I'll risk 'em," said John, laughing. "See here, Debby, 1'vo brought somo company home to supper, I found this old gontlcman out In the storm, with i no batter place to bring up at than the htRIM an REMEDY hkbsMmMM ijl ij'l' Live and Let Live."

"Why, his teeth chatter with tho cold, or would If ho had any, poor man, and not a bit of mi overcoat. No place to go, ditl you say? Why, he'd have froze to death before morning." "Aye, nnd starved, too," said the man, looking longingly toward the table. "To bo sure! How thoughtless of mo to stnnd here jabbering when I daiu say you didn't have any dinner to speak of." "Ivo had nothing to eat for two days, ma'am." "Mcicy on usl And to think such things should happen In a Christian land, John! Isn't it dreadful? Sit right up to tho table, Mr. what did you say his name was, John?" "My namo Is Dill Joshua DID, ma'am." "There used to be Dills up In Pa sumpslo. I wonder if he's ouo of 'cm," said Debby. "Nat cr mind that now," said John. "UIvo the poor man his supper, and jou can get his family history after ward." "Those Dills were sort of relations of mine. It would be funny If he was one of 'cm, wouldn't It?" persisted Debby, as she heaped the old man's plato with eatables, which ho devoured, unembar rassed hy the curious aud eager gaze of tho five children, aud the investigations of Ponto, who, from the first had re garded the stranger with evident dis trust. For this, Ponto probably had no bet ter reason than that the man was poor ly clad; for the dog, as you know, Is a natural aristocrat, and wilt drive away the man who approaches your door iu rags and a slouched hat, while he suffers tho man In broadcloth and a stovc-ptpc to pass unchallenged. Is it that, by some subtle instinct, he divines that rags and filth are apt to be tho reward of 111 dolns, nnd neatness and thrift the re ward of well-doing? But good little Mrs. r.atchet did not nt all sympathize with this view of the cac, and rebuked Ponto for his want of hospitality. As aiule.lhe more wretch ed a human being was. tho more she took him Into her motherly heart. Ac cordingly she was greatly delighted when she found that her present guest had once had relatives In Pasnmslc, and iho and all the five children at once took to calling him "Grandfather Dill." "Only think, John," said she, when the old man had gono to bed, "he says his folks came from Pasunipslc. No doubt ho Is somo relation to us." "It must be. a great comfort to find yourself fortieth cousin to a tramp," said John. Tho next morning Grandfather Dill was so ill from the effects of ills expos ure that he. was unable to rise, and what with the, hot herb teas wih which Mrs. Hatchet scalded hhn Inside, and the mustard plasters with which she flayed him outside, It was a wonder he ever did rise; but in a few days he was able to sit In the great arm-chair in the corner, and began to talk about resuming his wandeilngs again. For this, however, he was manifestly too feeble, and John went to the town authorities to get them to take him off his hands. They all with one accord declared that he was none of their pau per, that they werti already overrun with tramps, and that tho only thing they felt justified In doing was to forward him to Littleton, where he stated that he belonged. But Mrs. Hatchet In her turn was equally decided that lie should not be moved In his present condition, nnd John quite agreed with her. So Grand father Dill stayed on and on, till It be came evident that he never would take the journey to Littleton, or any other journey hut tho last long journey which awaits us all. Meantime, John's conduct elicited various comments from his towns-people some nraiscd and some blamed. nans Schneider said, "I always thought John was a fool, and uow I know it, burdening himself with a pau per in these hard limes, He'll come to the poorhouse himself yet, see If he don't." As Grandfather Dill grew weaker, he had, or seemed to have, some strange fancies. He often muttered the name of "Priscy," coupled with tho words, "She shan't have a cent of it!" and at last one day ha askej Johu to bring the notary to make his will. "I am going to make It in favor of you and your wife," said he; "you've both been good to me, and she was a Dill, or her mother was; and as for Priscy" there lm stopped. "Who Is Pilscy?" asked John. "Nobody; I don't know any sncb per son. Bring the notary." At first John put him off, for he did not wish to offend the notary by askln; him to come anil make a pauper's will; hut the old man was so persistent that for the rake of quieting him he finally acceded to his request, and tho will was duly made, signed, sealed and delivered "If there is any truth in this, you're a rich man," said the notary' to John. After this Grandfather Dill seemed satisfied, though ho failed rapidly: but a few minutes before he died ho mur mured, "Poor Priscy! Perhaps she wasn't so much to blame, after all." That tho property so liberally be queathed to him existed anywhere hut In Grandfather Dill's Imagination, John did not believe, and but for the notary would scarcely have given the matter another thought; but the notary said the old man had clven the Items of tho will with great precision, which was in itself an Indication of Its truthfulness, and that It was very easy to find out whether there was anything In It or not. For his part, hu thought It worth look lng Into. John said It was his opinion that the SI. 00 If old man had nothing but the rag) on his back, but still, as Mr, Armstrong was about to scud him away on a business commission, ho could easily take In Lit tleton on hh route, thereby "killing two birds with one stone," as he Jestingly observed. To his unbounded surprise, and to the equal surprise of the Littleton ppoplc.ho ascertained through a lawyer that tho seeming pauper was Indeed the owner of thousands. He had no relations lu that town, nor was It known that he had any elsewhere. He was not a native of Littleton, how ever, but had come, It was believed, from J'umfrctl so to Pomfrct went John. Nouo of tho younger generation re membered any Dills, but some of the older ones knew that there had once been such a family, though they had long since lost all knowledge of them. "If aii)body can tell you about them, old Granny Madison can," said the landlord of tha Eaglo. llolfl. "She knowa everything. She's a regular 'History of Potnfret' In ono volume." And so It proved. "Do I remember Mr. Dill Joshua Dill?" said tho old lady. "To bo sure I do. He was one of our leading citi zens once, but nfter he quarrelled with I1I3 daughter ho was all broken up." "Then he had a daughter?" "Yes; a stubborn, headstrong piece as over lived, and wild and heedless be sides. He couldn't do anything with her after her mother died. At last he got so angry at something, I never could find out precisely what, that he scolded her worse than common, mid she threatened to go off and leave him to himself. He told her to go If she want ed to, hut sho should never come back if she did. "Ho didn't expect she'd go, but sho went, nnd nobody Knows that they ever saw each other again. Mahala Blunt, that kept house for him, told the story, all she knew of It, and she said It was pitiful to seo him after she'd gone. He'd steal out to tho gate, and look up and down the road half a dozen times In an evening, nnd she knew he wns look ing for Priscy." "Priscy!" said John. "Yes; her name was Prlscilla, you know. But Priscy never came, and by-and-by he seemed to give It up, and af ter that the only object he had In the world appeared to bo to save and hoard money. And It didn't do hhn any good either, for he wouldn't even allow him self enough to eat, nor Mahala neither. At last she said sho couldn't stand it any longer, and she left hhn, and by-and-by he sold out and went nobody knows where." "And the daughter?" ,"Oh, mo3t likely shu'sdead! There's been a good many stories alio it about her, but come to sift them they didn't amount to much." Then John thanked tho old lady for her Information, and having, In his turn, told her what he know of Mr. Dill, took his leave. When John reported to Mr. Hatch, bis lawycr.the very meagre Information he had gathered at Pomfrct, that gen tleman said: "It Isn't of the slightest consequence, sir; nil the relations Iu tho world couldn't upset the will, which is perfectly legal." John smiled. "I suppose the best way to ascertain whether the daughter Is living would be to advertise, wouldn't it?" he asked. "Doubtless it would; but what do you want to ascertain for? You'llonly make trouble for yourself." "It seems to me the right thing to do," said John; "and, a? I don't under stand much about such matters, I will get you to attend to It for me, and send me word if you hear anythiug." "Of course I will attend to It if such aro your orders; but miad, sir, It Is not by my advice, and I decline to be held responsible for tho consequences," "I hold no ono responsible but my self," said Johu. The news of John's fortune reached homo before be did, and and he at onco became a very Important personage In the village. Not only did bis old friends flock around him with congratulations, but those who had formerly overlooked tbo poor mechanic entirely, suddenly discovered that he was a man of extra ordinary merit. Mr. Armstrong ex pressed joy at his good luck; at the same time he said, "I don't see bow I am to get alouj without you." 'Terhapa you won't have lo," said John. "I mean to keep right ou with my work nt present." As for Mrs. Hatchet, sho declared it was like a fairy story. Sho would have a new silk dress before anolher Sunday. "Who would have dreamed when you brought that old man home that it would end like this?" . "It hasn't ended," said John. "There, that's just like you," said Debby, "you're never excited whatever happens. Now I feel just like dancing and clapping my hands." And Debby executed a ptrouette which was the means of btluglng her foot down upon Ponto's tall. He ran under tho tablo with a yelp, and she dragge'd him out and petted him,saylng, "Nevermind, Ponto; you shall have a beautiful new collar, with a silver label, so you shall." "Dubby," said John, "If anything should happen that this money should turn out not to' be ours after all, would It ho such a terrible disappointment to you?" "Oh, John, what do youincanf" said Debby. "Grandfather Dill had a daughter," said John. "Do you remember his last words?" "Yes let me see. He said, 'Poor Priscy!' Perhaps she wasn't so much to blame, after nil!" "Well, Priscy was his daughter. If she U alive, her father's money Is right fully hers." U Year if Paid in Advance. not paid in advance, $L2f "In spite of thn will.'" "In spite of tho will," said John. "But she may be dead. I hope sho Is. OLordy! I didn't mean to cay that." And Debby clapped her hand oyer l.er mouth as If lu krap back the wicked words. "But to think of belu as poor as ever again after all our plans nnd hopes! Why didn't you tell mo there was a doubt about It hi the first place?" "Because )ou went 011 so you didn't give me time," said John. "Besides, It Isn't really settled that wo give up tho money even If Priscy Is alive." "How Is anybody golng.to know what )oumeau?" said Debby. Impatiently. "Didn't you Just say It was rightfully hers In spite of the will?" "Yes; and I think it li rightfully, though not legally. Now I am going to leavo it for you to decide; but first make tho case your own. Suppose your father had leftafortunc,niid had wllleJ It away from you to comparative strangers?" "That's what you call leaving it to mo to decide." said Debby. "You put It so there's only one thing I can say, and then ask me to decide. Oh. Ponto, Ponto! it's very plain you will never 15c t your new collar, nor I myncwsllk, after all, not If she's in the world." 'Then you wouldn't liko to keep the money fromGranfathorDllls'udauohter?' "Of course I shouldn't. How foolish yon do talk, John!" Three mouths afterwards John received a dispatch from lawyer Hatch which caused him to take a second Journey. The advertisement had been answered by a woman who proved her self to bolho missing daughter of Grand father Dill beyond a doubt. She was a poor widow, and supported herself and little boy by coarse sewing, j A wretched support it afforded her, and she was found living ln'a tenement attic, with health anil spirits broken by mis fortune. She said, that sho had long since repented her folly In leaving her father, and had onco gone back to hor early home to bo reconciled to him, but tho place was then in the hands of strangers. After that she had beep unablo to learn anything of him, and had believed him long since dead. Such was the story John brought homo to his wife. "I'm sure It was a proyldence that led me to run against Grandfather Dill that stormy night," said John; "but for that his daughter would surely havo died of her hardships, and the poor little boy would havo been left to charity, which was what she most dreaded. But then I suppose there's a providence In everything." "Ho's the stangest man I ever saw," said Lawyer Hatch, speaking of John. "Ho took as much pains to hunt up an heir to the old man, and to glvo her tho money that was willed to him, as any body else would to havo kept ono out of tho way." "I declare, ho's a bigger fool than I took him to be!" said Hans Schneider; "aud that's saying a good deal.' Perhaps somo of my readers will agree with Hans; but many, I know, will think as I do, that John was an uncon scious hero. A ItE3UIiT OF EDUCATION. Jim Webster was heard calling across the fence to a neighbor's son, a colored youth, who goes to school on Koblnson hill. 'Look hyar, boy, you goes to school, don't yer?' 'Yes, sir,' replied tha boy. 'Gcttln' eddykasun, alnt ve.r?' 'Yes, sir.' Learning 'rlthmctlc and figuring on a slate, ch?' 'Yes. sir.' 'Well, It doesn't take two whole days to make an hour, do It?' 'Why 110!' exclaimed the boy. 'You was gwlne ter bring 4 at hatchet back In au hour, wasn't yen" Yes, sir.' 'And Its been two whols days -since you borrowed It. Now what good's ed.lykasun gwln ter do you, whrn you go to school a whole yar an den can't tell, how Ioug It takes to fotch tack a hatchet.' The boy got mad, and slung tho hatchet over the fence and half way through tho ash barrel. When yon doubt, abstain. Hold falthtulnsjs and sincerity as first principles. A hnmhlo duty faithfully performed Is a sweet aorsol forever. It Is easy to be glad, but It Is a very different matter to be thankful, If the will bo set In virtue there will be no paictlco of wickedness. What do we livo for, If not to make life less difficult to each other. IS m int. BEST TQKIG. ?
